Which Linden Tree Will Grow Faster

Question From: Minot, North Dakota, United States
Q: Hello Nancy: which will grow faster to give shade in our back yard- the Dropmore or the Greenspire Linden ,and which has the fewest problems? Thank-you for your assistance.

A: Susan, I am not a tree specialist. I would visit a couple of nurseries and get some opinions. Mike Dirr says Greenspire only grew about 10 feet in 10 years in MA. Growth rate varies with growing conditions. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
